why is weight loss greater when i skip workouts?

is there a reason that one would lose weight skipping excercise? i have been excercising every day for the past several weeks and seeing modest loss. i went easy on the elliptical friday, and totally skipped saturday and sunday. monday morning i had a loss of 3.5lbs! i usually only lose 1 or 1.5 per week. this has happened before. weird coincidence or is there some reason for this?

Can I lose weight by doing ab workouts?

If not, do you have any other easyweightloss suggestions?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You could I guess if you do it 24/7. The best way to lose weight is with moderate intensity aerobic exercises where all muscles ( like the thigh and buttocks) are involved not just one particular group.

James asks…

Can someone give me an At home weight loss workout?

Im going to be babysitting this week Sunday to thursday. And i just gained 5lbs and i need to get that an more off. Im going to be staying at that house. so i need a few workouts to do that will be easy and make me lose weight

weight loss cardiff answers:

Get 10 things to do in your routine. 5 should be something to do with stretching(touch the sky, arms on back), and 5 should make your heart rate go up (jogging in the spot, jumping jacks). Alternate moves between the two groups of 5.
At night, before you go to sleep, do 15 sit ups.
Remember that if you want to lose weight, you have to exercise AND eat healthy.
If this wasn’t helpful enough, look through magazines like cosmogirl, or find websites that show you what to do.

What is the best way to describe a relationship with a deity?

I know it’s bad to say “I use [deity]”, but I’ve heard it’s also bad to say “I work with [deity]”. I usually say “I follow Athena”, but is that also viewed as bad? What’s the best way to phrase it?
Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best word for that is worship. You are worshipping Athena. That is the best way to phrase it.

God bless you.

Peace out.

Sandy asks…

Can a cosmic deity truly harbor human emotions like love or hate?

People say God loves everyone or hates certain people, but if the deity is impossible for humans to comprehend then how can we put human states on him, only humans love and hate.

Just a thought I had.

weight loss cardiff answers:

My answer will no doubt be laughed at, but let’s put it in another context.

Scenario 1:
Sally asks Joe for a date. Joe turns Sally down. Sally may feel upset, despair, hurt, or that Joe really didn’t understand the “true” her. Perhaps Joe just doesn’t know what he would be missing. Sally may even become angry or worse yet, perhaps violent. Was Sally rejected? Yes, she was. The feelings she experienced are those of rejection and anyone who has ever been turned down in such a way is likely to feel some or all of these.

Scenario 2:
Sally tries to set Joe up on a blind date with Lisa. Joe turns down the offer. Was Sally rejected? Of course not. Lisa-but neither has Joe rejected Lisa-whom he has never met. Joe may think that Sally is trying to make Lisa look better than she is. He may even think that Lisa didn’t actually exist at all. Regardless, Joe did not actually reject Lisa nor Sally. Would Sally have any reason to feel rejected? No. Sally and Lisa are two different people.

So what does this mean? Why would Sally (the believer) feel rejected if Lisa (God) was turned down? Because Sally (the believer) IS Lisa (God).

God is the believer, and the believer is God. That is why God has so many emotions. The personal God is merely a complex relationship with an idealized alter-ego self. Each person has his or her own “understanding” of “God’s will” precisely because each person has their own perception. The feeling they get “in their heart” is simply their conscience-which we all have. It is not God that makes them feel bad for having done something, or God that “warns” them to stay away from certain people or actions.

Why does God seem to know everything about you? Because he IS you.

Betty asks…

How can a deity be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present?

Or in other words, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent?

After all, if a deity is all-powerful, they can make themselves not be present somewhere, or not know something, but if they are omniscient they can’t make themselves not know something, which would mean that they weren’t omnipotent, etc.

How do you get away from this if you believe in a deity or deities who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present?

(Used themselves so as not to infer gender or particular religion into the argument.)

weight loss cardiff answers:

Omnipotence, itself, is self-contradicting.

The popular example: Can God create a stone, so heavy, that he can’t lift it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. HOWEVER, because of my arthritis, I was not able to do the exercising and didn’t have the willpower to eat very little. So……I did my own version of the Atkins diet with my doctor’s knowledge. I kept my carbs to no more than 30 a day. I ate only what was on my list and as much of each thing as I wanted. I was never hungry because there was always food I could eat. I never cheated and I lost 90 pounds. This was six years ago and since then I’ve lost 10 more pounds.
My foods: meat, any kind and any amount; I used large lettuce leaves as my “bread” to make a sandwich.
Hard cheeses (cheddar, colby, etc.)
dill pickles
eggs, any style, any amount
My own soup: pork steaks, tomato juice, cabbage, red onions, celery, carrots, spinach, parsely (any combination, any amount) I always added a LOT of creole seaonings or crushed red pepper because I like the heat!!
Drinks: water, water, lemon water, iced tea, coffee, and any diet drink.
NO SUGAR EVER…there’s enough natural sugar in veggies.
I eat “regular” food now but limit sugar to almost never. JUST WATCH THE CARBS while you’re dieting; later keep them under control.

I want to loseweight and sculpt my body but I only loss weight 4 pounds in 2 month. Anybody know how to lose pretty fast but also not easily gain weight? Because eating just a little bit is not good for health and diet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Regardless of your leg, butt, hip, thigh and tummy goals from fat/flab/cellulite reduction to firming, slimming, building, toning, lifting and sculpting. The “right combination” of exercise variables will give you much better results in a shorter amount of time. Combine these variables improperly and you’ll just keep spinning your wheels, with no results to show for your efforts. Just a lot of frustration, anger and wasted energy.

Age, genetics and body type have much less impact on how your body looks and feels, than you may have been led to believe by traditional media, your friend’s sister’s brother in law or your family physician. Truth be told, your body is quite adaptable when treated properly “with the right program” as opposed to trying to force change on it with inappropriate, heavy weight-training and uncomfortable machine type exercise programs.

I am a 5.7 and 25 years old and a month ago I weigh 147lbs although about a year ago I weighed 188lbs. I am not very happy with how I look, although I have slimmed down a lot, but I still look like I’m pregnant. My stomach is flabby, my butt is big and I just feel and look disgusting. I used to run on treadmill for 15-20 mins then do some stretching for 10 min and then workout for 30-40 mins and all this 7 days a week. But I just couldn’t reach my goal. It is enough to make anyone frustrated.

A month ago a friend introduced me a workout program. I was skeptical at first that this would work by itself. Targeted weight loss is quite tough, some would say impossible, but it definitely does produce results. I have lost 20 lbs in four weeks plus 3 inches from my stomach and even my legs are much more slimmer then before. If you are wondering that this program is too good to be true then get your FREE copy of ‘The Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Enhancement e-Guide’ at the source below. You will not regret it! And your body will thank you for it.

Charles asks…

Do you know how to lose weight effectively? Tell me what works or what I should do!?

Info about me:

25 female, no children, never played sports, 5’8 172lbs on a good day. Pear shaped body type, gain muscle easily but fat on top likes to stay. Problem areas are belly from childhood, thighs that touch. Really just the stomach, everywhere else can get toned a bit better. With the right clothes, I appear fit and athletic looking. LOL not a swimsuit body.

I have gym access.

Need to know what to eat, when to eat, when to work out, what to do while working out, and whether or not I can lose 10-20lbs in a month. 150 would be a good size for me. I want to keep my hips and butt.

Im an emotional eater and like sweets and breads when I am upset.

Im not looking for scams nor do I want to hear the same old 2lbs a week is healthy bs.

Any advice for daily or weekly routine would be great.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hello Vanessa:

First of all,how much you eat isn’t nearly as important as what you eat and when you eat it.

You should have one oat-based breakfast and four healthy snacks each day and exercise each time you eat.

The types of things to have for snacks are fresh salads without salad dressings. Follow that with a piece of fruit. Follow that with some type of exercise.

There are scores of ways to prepare a salad. Many different combinations of veggies. You can cut up a hard boiled egg in it. Mandarin Orange segments, sunflower seeds, cashews, etc.

As far as your exercise regime is concerned, that should be designed around your diet.

The secret is to eat, then wait 30 minutes then exercise, etc. And don’t go to bed with a full stomach.

The two best exercises are:1. A brisk walk with your arms swinging. Sort of a quick march. You start out going half of your goal distance then turn around and march back. Each march you add a little distance.

2. Swimming. This is exercise and incentive at the same time. Watching your body begin to look good in a swimsuit is a great incentive. The hard part of this is to get started. You have to be able to envision yourself slowly shrinking so you can wear a swimsuit in the knowledge that you are getting healthy.

These are only guidelines. To properly control your weight and body
structure you should have a personalized plan that is designed specifically for you.

I have searched the Net and narrowed the search to three choices.

I am guessing that if you detoxed and then adapted a healthy lifestyle (diet and exercise), you would achieve your goals.

Ruth asks…

What can I eat to maintain my weight on a soft food diet?

I recently had my bottom braces put on and the orthodontist placed what’s called a bite turbo on my top teeth that keeps my teeth from coming together, effectively stopping me from chewing anything. Until it comes off, I have to eat soft foods.

Here’s my challenge. I’ve been lifting weights trying to gain some muscle weight. Because I can’t eat solid food, I’m afraid that I might loseweight that I’ve worked very hard to build (which is VERY annoying). I’ve been eating soups and trying to make sure that I’m taking in the same number of calories, but I find myself having to use yogurts and protien shakes, soups, and sometimes even juices to make up the calories.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can eat to maintain or, better yet, still continue to make MUSCLE gains? (Please note, I don’t want fat.) Keep in mind that I am an ectomorph by nature (High metabolism, loseweighteasily, hard for me to gain.).

Thanks!
I know that most protein shakes have a lot of carbs in them, though, as do Yogurts. Will this be ok, or will it really matter as long as I’m not gaining fat?

weight loss cardiff answers:

From what you have said, you seem to be on the right track. Healthy proteins help build muscle, as well keep you feeling satisfied longer. The protein shakes are your best defense, I think, against loosing muscle mass. I would recommend you keep doing what you are doing and having a protein shake with every meal.
Because of your situation right now, there are a variety of soups out there to stop you from getting bored with what you are eating. Also try the following link for high protein foods:
